What if Google Disappeared

It’s hard to fathom a Google-free existence. Significant amounts of day-to-day life are augmented by Google search or a Google Product.

They’ve shaken up the industry by changing how candidates search for jobs, and how job postings are viewed. With all this in mind here are a few ways the disappearance of Google would pull the rug out from under recruiters and sourcers.
